Title: Another eBay clown
Post by: annihilator on 11 July 2017, 12:11:35
After the £300 bumper eedgit spotted a listing for a 2.2 V6 omega so politely informed him it's a 2.5 as a pic in the listing confirmed, only to get a reply telling me I'm wrong it is a 2.2  :D ha

Oddly I had a chap round earlier to pick up a 2.2 exhaust, he was backing his Omega up and the badge said 2.6 so I thought oh balls he's made a mistake, turned out it was a 2.2 with a 2.6 bootlid  ;D

I use to have a 300bhp Sapphire Cosworth with 1.6LX badges on the Bootlid, that use to confuse folk at Traffic Lights  ;D

The 3.0 v6 badges on the back of Robs estate have a similar effect ;D

  I have recently had an ebay time waster buy a rear wheel cylinder from me. Listing stated one item supplied. I took photo of all three I had. just before I went on holiday, put additional message up saying dates I was away. during this time, he bought the cylinder, that was the last one left. He then started not received procedings against me while I was away. Sent out first class when home after replying to him. Next thing is he is ranting about only receiving one item. Pointed him back to the listing wording only for him to then have a really abusive rant. Told him to return item for refund but so far, after three weeks, he has not sent it back. Sold it really cheap at £12 post free. He must have had someone tell him he was wrong and that the price he has paid for a new wheel cylinder is a steal. He now on permanent blocked buyers list
